Superstar Madeline The Person is back with a new dreamy song “August” in well, August. It’s a stellar release from Madeline as it sees her at her best yet. She’s already making a name for herself in the industry with previous releases of “As a Child” and “I Talk To The Sky”, which have garnered her thousands of views on TikTok along with her covers she does on there of Harry Styles, and Phoebe Bridgers to name a few. But now she is making her own music and it is brilliant. Madeline has the voice of an angel, with her warm silky tone that will truly leave you with goosebumps. At only 19 she is quickly becoming a superstar and we can’t wait to hear more from her.
About the song, Madeline shared, “I wrote “August” at a time of my life that was full of lovesickness and missing someone I had just begun a relationship with. The song is an expression of how much of a mess I was when my biggest crush ever had to live across the country. I felt silly for missing someone so much and falling apart about it. The line about gluing my fingers together actually happened. I was making jewelry to get my mind off of the longing in my heart and the metal adhesive got all over my hands and I truly panicked trying to pull my hands apart. I looked around my room and realized it was the messiest it has ever been and I thought, “Okay, this is a song,” and I wrote it as soon as I got my fingers unstuck.”

On working with Adam on the video, Madeline commented, “I wanted the music video to show Adam and I occupying the same space at different times. I wanted to bring light to the parallels in our separate ways of going through the motions and how much it makes your heart ache to witness. Adam was incredible to work with. I can’t imagine someone being more eager to do the silly things I suggested for the video. I had so much fun styling him and doing his makeup. He really wanted to bring my vision to life, and I’m so grateful for that.”
